01 / Purpose
Why I built it
I wanted a computer desk that fit the space and matched my fish tank stand.
Project / Built Work
Computer Desk
A custom TIG-welded aluminum desk with a solid oak top.
I built the desk directly from measurements instead of starting with a CAD model. Its open aluminum structure and handmade oak top create a simple computer workstation that fits the room and has remained stable through several years of regular use.
